The plan is to finish the final exam next semester in September and wrap the whole thing up.</p> <p>CEH is going well too, roughly halfway through at this point. At this point I&rsquo;m still barely capable when it comes to completing pent testing exercises. Still a long way to go but it&rsquo;s starting to click in a way.</p>https://vll4di.github.io/about/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://vll4di.github.io/about/<p>I am a BSc student and aspiring cybersecurity professional currently living in the UK. I am also studying towards completing two certifications: Cisco CCNA and EC-Council CEH. Besides networking and cybersecurity I have a strong interest in everything linux and open source in general, currently daily driving an Arch setup installed and configured by myself.</p> <p>(At first)This website started as a small personal project I decided to take on to get my HTML and CSS skills back into shape (until I got sick of updating everything manually and resorted to HUGO). As a kid I briefly played around with webpages without really understanding what I was doing pretty much just copying snippets of html here and there, changing colours, and calling it a day. This time around I wanted to actually learn how things work and build something from scratch, however simple it may be.</p>https://vll4di.github.io/blog/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://vll4di.github.io/blog/https://vll4di.github.io/setup/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://vll4di.github.io/setup/<p>My setup consists of a ThinkPad P50 (i7-6820HQ, NVIDIA Quadro M1000M, 32GB of RAM). I currently dual boot between Windows 10 Pro and Arch Linux.</p> <p>On the Linux side, I use a minimal configuration with a focus on performance and simplicity based on the suckless tools and vim as my primary editor.</p> <p>I am actively working towards ditching Windows entirely and moving to Linux full time but at the moment I still rely on a few Windows applications for university.</p>https://vll4di.github.io/projects/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://vll4di.github.io/projects/https://vll4di.github.io/links/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://vll4di.github.io/links/<p>Here are some useful or simply interesting links to pages that I recommend to anyone interested in programming, technology, or just looking for some good resources to learn from.</p> <p><a href="https://wiby.org/">wiby</a> - A fast search engine to browse the old web</p> <p><a href="https://distrowatch.com/">Distrowatch</a> - A website for updates about Linux distributions</p> <p><a href="https://artixlinux.org/">Artix Linux</a> - A Linux distro based on Arch Linux but without systemd</p> <p><a href="https://suckless.org/">Suckless</a> - A collection of simple, well-designed Unix tools written in C</p>
